You may try to disable GPU acceleration. However, there doesn't seem to be a command line parameter for that. So, the easiest way would be to SSH into your ppc64 machine and run firefox with "firefox -no-remote". For example: $ ssh -X -C debian-ppc64 $ firefox -no-remote Then go into the settings menu to disable it, see [1].
